Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
17. Safe vehicle and pedestrian access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be
maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction
works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
requirements complied with.
18. All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to
existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
19. Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed
driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring. Trenching is not permitted,
unless specifically approved by Council.
Site Access and Driveways
20. Driveway crossovers must be constructed in accordance with council’s Standard Drawings
RS-056 and any associated addendum.
21. Any existing unnecessary or redundant property accesses must be removed, and the kerb,
footpath and verge area reinstated to match the existing footpath and/or verge treatments.
Grassed verge areas to be reinstated must be provided with 100 mm topsoil and grass seed
or turf, and must be maintained by the developer until established.
22. The following must be complied with during the construction of the required
crossover/driveway:
a. The driveway surfacing must consist of either an approved hot mixed asphaltic
concrete or patterned/plain concrete or an approved all-weather purpose material;
b. The driveway must be constructed so as not to concentrate stormwater runoff onto
neighbouring properties;
c. Underground service conduits for water supply, electricity and any other services must
be provided as part of the access driveway;
d. Where there is an existing pedestrian path, a matching crossfall must be provided for
the driveway on the alignment of the path, for the full width of the path; and
e. The property access must be located a minimum of 1m clear of existing power poles,
streetlights or other signage. The developer is responsible for any necessary relocation
of existing services to provide this clearance and must contact the relevant service
authorities and comply with their requirements in relation to these works.
Earthworks and Retaining Walls
23. All earthworks shall be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of AS 3798 Guidelines
on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development, with geotechnical testing
undertaken in accordance with Section 8 of the Standard, and to a minimum of ‘Level 1’ as
defined in Appendix B. Test results as required by AS 3798, and a certificate of quality and
uniformity of fill shall be provided by a RPEQ and submitted to Council.
24. Fall protection must be provided to retaining walls that are over 1m high.
25. Slope and batters are a maximum grade of:
a. 1 in 6 where in proximity to waterbodies;
b. 1 in 4 for grassed areas;
c. 1 in 3 for planted areas; and
d. 1 in 2 for combined structural engineering and planting solutions.
